Essential Care Tips for Lasting Beauty
Just as meticulously we apply to installation, we set you up to keep your countertops functioning and looking in pristine condition. Immediately address spills with neutral cleaning solution and a soft cloth; steer clear of abrasive materials that could scratch sealants and finishes. Follow manufacturer recommendations for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, consider applying daily sealing sprays on stone countertops to enhance stain resistance in between full seal coats. Always use cutting boards to preserve edges and avoid micro-chipping.
Prioritize protecting surfaces from heat. Place hot pans on protective trivets, as sudden temperature changes may crack stone or delaminate laminates. Install heat-resistant mats in cooking and beverage zones. Ensure grout and caulk seals remain solid-inspect every three months and repair separations to maintain water protection. When repairs are needed, reach out to us; our services include matching fills, addressing etching, and validating finish compliance.
